WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN AUSTRALIA

We’ll show you where to find all the classic Australian food like vegemite and lamingtons, plus all the multicultural delights like Sydney’s Chinatown or Melbourne’s Italian Lygon Street.

Parmigiana

If you’re wondering what to eat in Australia, you can’t miss the classic parmigiana. While this beloved pub staple was influenced by Italian cuisine, the ‘chicken parmy’ has been well and truly Australianised. Made with breaded chicken coated in tomato and cheese and oven-baked and served with chips and salad, you can’t go past the parmy.

Vegemite on toast

It’s the most iconic yet controversial of Australian foods - and tasting vegemite has got to be on your Australia bucket list. It’s a thick, dark brown, salty spread made from brewers’ yeast extract, and while it might sound strange, the trick is in the serving size. Spread it thinly over a slice of hot toast and butter, and you’ll quickly see why Australians love vegemite.

Best time to visit Australia’s cities

While summer can be sweltering, autumn, winter and spring offer up some perfectly mild temperatures for an Australia city break… Although you can still expect to experience everything from rain to sunshine.

PACKING TIPS FOR AUSTRALIA

HOW TO TRAVEL RESPONSIBLY IN ASUTRALIA

Learn about Aboriginal Australians

It’s important to learn the history and culture of Aboriginal Australians, and respect their sacred customs and land. Never climb over sacred sites, touch rock paintings or take anything from the sites such as stones or shells.

Use water wisely

Many places in Australia suffer from drought and severe water shortages, so help save water by taking shorter showers, reusing towels and sheets, turning taps off tightly, and reporting any leaks.

Learn about fire safety

Bushfires are a huge hazard in Australia, especially in summer, so do your bit to prevent bushfires by adhering to total fire bans, only using designated BBQ pits when fires are allowed, and fully extinguishing cigarettes with water.
